Beyoncé Wears A Newspaper-Printed Curve-Hugging Bodysuit During Cowboy Carter Tour
The long-awaited Cowboy Carter tour, which was announced after the release of Beyoncé's first country album, has been in full swing since its opening night in Los Angeles in late April. The show is over three hours and full of elaborate set pieces, graphics, and more. One of the most notable aspects of the country-themed tour is the singer's costume changes, some of which are very cowgirl-coded, while others make a stylish comment on her career, from Vivienne Westwood bodysuits to Roberto Cavalli chaps.
One of the outfits is a tight bodysuit that's covered in newspaper headlines and print. According to Harper's Bazaar, the outfit is a custom-made ensemble from Diesel. Aside from the flattering bodysuit, the look includes matching boots and long gloves, all of which are covered in the same black, white, and red newspaper text. Some of the words on the outfit include "America Has A Problem," which is a popular track from her Renaissance album.
While sporting this look, the mom-of-three wears her blonde hair down and curled. She keeps her accessories to a minimum, likely because, as she sings her song "Diva," she does an intense dance break, which received a bit of backlash from some internet users.
Internet Users Say It May Be Time For Beyoncé To 'Retire' After Seeing Tour Videos
While the Texas native is one of those superstar musicians whose fanbase is constantly flooding them with positive comments, under one of the videos of her dancing in her newspaper bodysuit, some internet users couldn't help but critique her performance.
On TikTok, a video of Beyoncé dancing to "Diva" at the Cowboy Carter tour, one of her hit songs from her I Am...Sasha Fierce album went viral, and some users felt that she looked as though she was getting tired.
"It's about time for her to retire," wrote a TikTok user. "She barely even [dances] anymore."
"It's time to hang up the leotards," wrote another.
"You can see in this video that she's 44 years old," noted a TikTok user.
An Instagram user commented under a repost of the footage that "she's fatigued," while another wrote they thought she was "overworked."
Although most of the comments were drowned out by supportive fans who feel she "performs way better than any woman half her age," it was interesting to see the notorious performer get a little backlash or criticism. Despite it all, she's continuing to rock out on stage for the remainder of the worldwide tour, which is said to conclude in Nevada at the end of the month.
